Rules summary

The game is played over several rounds. At the start of a round, the governor selects a role, then each player in turn selects a role. At the end of the round, the governor token moves to the next player.

When a role has been chosen, each player in turn plays the action for this role. Only the player who selected the role can use the role privilege.

Available roles are the following:

• Mayor: colonists set foot in the new world ! Privilege : the mayor can get one more colonist from the supply. Action : in turn, begining with the mayor, players get one colonist from the ship, until it is empty. Then players have to set colonists on their buildings and plantations.
• Craftsman: goods are produced. Privilege : the craftsman can produce one more good of his choice. Action : produce goods for your occupied buildings and plantations.
• Trader: goods are sold to the trading house. Privilege : the trader earns 1 extra doubloon if he sells. Action : sell one good the trading house doesn't have yet.
• Settler : plantations settlement. Privilege : the settler can get a quarry instead of a plantation. Action : get a plantation chosen among those available.
• Builder : buildings are bought and built. Privilege : the builder can get a building for 1 doubloon less than the regular price. Action : get a building chosen among those available.
• Captain : victory points are won by shipping goods to the old world. Privilege : the captain earns one extra victory points if he ships some goods. Action : select a type of good to load on a cargo ship; 1 victory point is earned for each barrel of this type of good loaded on the ship.
• Prospector : gold rush brings money ! Privilege : the prospector gets one doubloon from the bank. Action : none.

Please also note that occupied violet buildings have modifier effects for role actions.

End of game happens at the end of the round for which one of the following events comes to pass :

• there is not enough colonists in the supply to refill the colonist ship at the end of the mayor phase
• the last victory point token has been earned during the captain phase
• at least one of the players built on his 12th and last free space in the city.
